Between 26-28 June 2007, there will be a major event on Energy business in Madrid Spain for Powergen Europe 2007 conference. The Powergen conferences are very important in energy sector.   Any company or individual can participate to a fair or conference in Turkey. That is low cost expense.   Even a student with a low budget can easily participate. But company top level participation is not that high.

But if you decide to participate to Powergen Europe Conference, you have to purchase an international ticket to fly to an European city- (Madrid, Spain this year), make hotel reservation and handle your living and traveling expenses. You have to spend almost one week.

That means you are away from your work load and your projects that is a real dedication. That needs time, money, and effort. But Reward is high. You will meet with the key players of the international market. You will also meet with your potential clients as well as your future partners.

Only real players, only serious organizations, and individuals can do.

We would strongly advise our Colleagues to participate the PowerGen Europe 2007 and join the European power generation industry at the one place that both leading product suppliers and leading technical and strategic decision-makers gather.

POWER-GEN Europe 2007 promises even more, being co-located alongside two new industry gatherings, Renewable Energy Europe and POWERGRID Europe, there by bringing together three key elements of power production and delivery today, conventional power generation, renewable power generation, and transmission and distribution.

As renewable energy technologies have matured, these carbon-neutral generating systems are increasingly being implemented, integrated, or explored, by Europe’s power utilities and large energy generators. They are now truly becoming part of the mainstream power offering and Renewable Energy Europe conference is the first large-scale renewables event tailor made for Europe’s power industry.

POWERGRID Europe aims to be the primary forum where European utility professionals can come together and examine, in-depth, the challenges facing the transmission and distribution arms of the power industry.

The POWER-GEN Europe conference programme addresses challenges faced by the electricity sector as a whole, both strategic and technical. It is an information platform to provide the latest technologies and best industry practices to support your decision-making process.

In addition to POWER-GEN Europe conference sessions, delegates can attend those for Renewable Energy Europe and POWERGRID Europe. Web address of PowerGen Europe 2007 is as follows, http://pge07.events.pennnet.com/fl/index.cfm.
